The Science Rabbit Hole
- Science is not a belief system; it is a set of tools that help us to discover the world around us in the most unbiased way possible. It is an engine of information that often gets misunderstood. It only gets tainted by the user and the receiver rather than science itself. We also tend to worship the scientist rather than focus on the work they’ve done objectively. A genuine appreciation for logic. Not about certainties. Only probability. Link to probability wave functions.
- Having “faith” in science has led to people who don’t critically think. How to avoid “scientism”
- Falsification and Karl Popper. Not quite right – see [[Antifragile]]
- The issue of misinformation and the trap of latching onto beliefs that are convenient (Dunning Kruger and Confirmation Bias)
- Let’s remember though, that science is the playground to run controlled experiments without the intervention of variable reality. It is a place to think rather than to “do”. Technology is the application of science. Physics and mathematics are the most applicable sciences to real life as they are quantifiable.
